STING 2 – for those who have big plans

The STING 2 is the updated version of the now nearly legendary STING – the paraglider with combined certification which is probably the world’s biggest-selling paramotor glider. The STING 2’s many fans have had to wait a long time for the new version, which shows how thorough we have been when it came to development. We wanted the STING 2 to improve on the flight characteristics of its proven predecessor for its various uses, while at the same time still being suitable for training. This means (in Germany at least) LTF/EN-A certification, i.e. maximum passive safety. In certification for motorised flight, here at SWING we decided not to take the easier option of foreign certification, but to carry out all necessary flight testing in accordance with airworthiness requirements for paramotor wings in Germany, with an appropriately extended weight range.

Another aim in development was to create a paraglider with performance data and handling which would make it appeal to all pilots who have the enjoyment of flying as a top priority. The STING 2’s special feature: speed bar travel can be extended in just a few quick steps so the speed range available can be increased for free flight. This turns the EN-A glider suitable for learners into a mid-level EN-B glider, so the STING 2 evolves along with the pilot’s skills. The STING 2 combines modern paraglider design with excellent properties in thermal flying and top flight behaviour when used in motorised flight. This makes it the ideal glider for anyone who has great plans for their flying!
